League of Friends at the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch donate new equipment to Urology Department

Patients undergoing Urology procedures at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch are benefitting from faster, more efficient treatment thanks to a new piece of camera equipment generously funded by the League of Friends.

The £9,995 ‘Lithoview Workstation’, provides high resolution digital images, and is used by Urologists for kidney and ureter procedures. This state of the art equipment allows Urologists to perform new complex procedures for the first time.

Because of the significantly improved vision with the Lithoview Workstation, cancer can be detected more easily and more complex and large stone work can be performed more safely and accurately. Patients benefit from having better cancer detection and clearance of complex stones. Consultant Urologist, Mr Koo said: ‘We are proud to state that here in Worcestershire; we are one of the few centres that deal with large complex stone work endoscopically in the region.’

4ward is our Trustwide culture change programme which is helping us build a more positive, supportive workplace for the benefit of our patients and colleagues. At its heart are our four 4ward Behaviours.
